ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T

Human iPSC-derived Parkinson's disease model

A rapidly maturing, consistent and scalable isogenic system to study Parkinson’s disease (PD).

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T are opti-ox deterministically programmed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous A53T mutation in the SNCA gene encoding the alpha-synuclein protein.

Benchtop benefits

comparison_0

Make True Comparisons

Pair the ioDisease Model Cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons to directly investigate the effect of the alpha-synuclein mutation on cellular and molecular mechanisms and cell function.

scalable_0

Scalable

With opti-ox technology, we can make billions of consistently programmed cells, surpassing the demands of industrial workflows.

quick_0

Quick

The disease model cells and isogenic control are experiment ready as early as 2 days post revival, and form structural neuronal networks at 11 days.

Technical data

Highly characterised and defined

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T express neuron-specific markers comparably to the wild type control

SNCA-A53T-hom-ICC-VGLUT2-MAP2

Immunofluorescent staining on post-revival day 11 demonstrates similar homogenous expression of pan-neuronal proteins MAP2 and TUBB3 (left tab) and glutamatergic neuron-specific transporter VGLUT2 (right tab) in ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T clones compared to the genetically matched control. 100X magnification.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T form structural neuronal networks by day 11

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T morphology from day1 to 11 post-thaw.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T clones mature rapidly and form structural neuronal networks over 11 days, highly similar to the genetically matched control. Day 1 to 11 post thaw; 100X magnification.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T demonstrate gene expression of neuronal-specific and glutamatergic-specific markers following deterministic programming

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T RT-qPCR showing expression of pan-neuronal and glutamatergic markers.

Gene expression analysis demonstrates that ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T clones and wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons (WT Control) lack the expression of pluripotency markers (NANOG and OCT4) at day 11, whilst robustly expressing pan-neuronal (TUBB3 and SYP) and glutamatergic-specific (VGLUT1 and VGLUT2) markers, as well as the glutamate receptor GRIA4. Gene expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR (data normalised to HMBS; cDNA samples of the parental human iPSC line (hiPSC) were included as reference). Data represents day 11 post-revival samples, n=2 replicates.

Disease-related SNCA is expressed in ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T following deterministic programming

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T RT-qPCR showing expression of alpha-synuclein

RT-qPCR analysis demonstrates a similar expression level of the SNCA gene in both wild type ioGlutamatergic Neurons (WT Control) and ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T clones at day 11 post-revival (n=2 replicates). cDNA samples of the parental human iPSC line (hiPSC) were included as a reference.

Cells arrive ready to plate

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T arrive ready to plate and are cultured over 11 days in a two-phase protocol.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T are delivered in a cryopreserved format and are programmed to mature rapidly upon revival in the recommended media. The protocol for the generation of these cells is a two-phase process: Phase 1, Stabilisation for 4 days; Phase 2, Maintenance, during which the neurons mature. Phases 1 and 2 after revival of cells are carried out by the customer.

Industry leading seeding density

One small vial seeds 1 x 96-well plate or 1.5 x 384-well plates.

The recommended minimum seeding density is 30,000 cells/cm2, compared to up to 250,000 cells/cm2 for other similar products on the market. One small vial can plate a minimum of 0.7 x 24-well plate, 1 x 96-well plate, or 1.5 x 384-well plates. This means every vial goes further, enabling more experimental conditions and more repeats, resulting in more confidence in the data.
